A Broken Kind of Beautiful - Katie Ganshert

About the Book(Provided by Publisher):
Sometimes everything you ever learned about yourself is wrong

Fashion is a fickle industry, a frightening fact for twenty-four year old model Ivy Clark. Ten years in and she’s learned a sacred truth—appearance is everything. Nobody cares about her broken past as long as she looks beautiful for the camera. This is the only life Ivy knows—so when it starts to unravel, she’ll do anything to hold on. Even if that means moving to the quaint island town of Greenbrier, South Carolina, to be the new face of her stepmother’s bridal wear line—an irony too rich for words, since Ivy is far from the pure bride in white.

If only her tenuous future didn't rest in the hands of Davis Knight, her mysterious new photographer. Not only did he walk away from the kind of success Ivy longs for to work maintenance at a local church, he treats her differently than any man ever has. Somehow, Davis sees through the facade she works so hard to maintain. He, along with a cast of other characters, challenges everything Ivy has come to believe about beauty and worth. Is it possible that God sees her—a woman stained and broken by the world—yet wants her still?

My thoughts:

Katie Ganshert is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! The writing is wonderful in this novel, as it is in her past ones. The subject matter is a very realistic one in our world today...too often the world judges someone based on their outer appearance, rather than looking at their true character on the inside. If you're looking for a novel that will powerfully stir your inner emotions, then this is the one for you! I give this book 4 stars and highly recommend it!

About Me

After being a stay at home mom for 12 years to 3 wonderful children, I decided to enter back in to the workforce, and what better place to work full-time than at my local library! For an avid reader like myself, this is a job made in heaven! Another way I read free books is by doing reviews for straightoffthepage.com and other publishing companies!
I love what I do, and can often be found with a book in one hand and an iced coffee in the other!
